What the?!*#

Running XP and working fine, I noticed this week that suddenly my stand by shutdown option was ghosted out? Checked power management and no hibernate tab or standby options. This is fully supported by the mobo and was working just fine last week. In fact, my father has and identical machine (we built them with the same parts) and his works fine. Only differance is I have a GeForce 3. I am using the latest BIOS (my father is too) and all the latest drivers, including XP and 4in1 updates. Any ideas?

Is there a registry tweak/hack that I can force the options on?

Any help appreciated.

Windows XP
Athlon XP 1700
Epox 8kha+ mobo
512 crucial DDR

Have you added any hardware lately? Not all hardware supports hibernate mode. Installed any new drivers?
